Mention the name Chen Ting, perhaps most people are not very familiar with it. However, if we talk about the famous director Zhang Yimou, I think it can be said that everyone in China knows everyone. Even if you don't know his name, you must have seen the movies he directed.
Nowadays, China's film industry is getting better and better, and Zhang Yimou can be said to play a crucial role in it, he is a representative figure of Chinese directors and is called one of the highest-ranking directors in China by industry insiders.
And the obscure Chen Ting is the wife of a famous director. Once Chen Ting was desperate to stop her when she was nineteen years old, and she fell in love with Zhang Yimou at the age of thirty-one. Now that the two have given birth to three children, how is Chen Ting doing now?
Zhang Yimou "remarried with three sons" broke the news
In 2012, an explosive news story circulated wildly on the Internet, that is, the news that "the famous director Zhang Yimou has remarried and already has three children" news. Originally, the focus of the whistleblower was Zhang Yimou's violation of the law and wanted to let everyone criticize his immoral behavior, but everyone put their attention on Zhang Yimou's wife.
Onlookers have marveled at Zhang Yimou's meticulous protection of his wife, and they are even more curious about who has such a big magic power and can be seen by the big director who has seen thousands of beautiful women? In the face of this revelation, Zhang Yimou did not hide it at all, but generously said that it was true.
He also accepted the punishment brought to him by Chaosheng, and after handing over the more than seven million yuan of his supernatural fine, he also published his wife Chen Ting and posted a photo of the family of five on Weibo. Subsequently, Chen Ting also opened Weibo and entered everyone's field of vision.
As soon as Chen Ting was exposed, the thirty-one-year-old age difference between her and Zhang Yimou attracted people's attention, and suddenly the overwhelming bad comments on the Internet fell on them, and some people accused Zhang Yimou of being improper in his private life and seducing female college students.
Some people also say that Chen Ting has bad intentions, looking for such an old age is to make a lot of money, most people think that there is no real love between them, either what agreement is signed or there is a reasonable dispute of interests. However, the growing relationship between the two directly erased these speculations.
As one of the most famous directors in China, Zhang Yimou's previous feelings can be said to be very rich. Before Chen Ting, Zhang Yimou had disclosed two feelings, one was Xiao Hua, the wife he was marrying, and the other was Gong Li, the first generation of "Mou Girl" who was trained by him.
Zhang Yimou's first marriage and Xiao Hua fell in love when they were in the countryside, but it did not last long, but the two had a daughter named Zhang Mo, and eventually the two were raised together. After the divorce, Zhang Yimou fell in love with Gong Li, the "girl of the year".
The two also experienced a hard and unforgettable love, and the relationship between the two could be said to be vigorous at the time, and many people in the circle were optimistic. However, this eight-year-long relationship still failed to come to an end, the personalities of the two were relatively strong, and finally Zhang Yimou failed to give Gong Li a marriage contract, and the relationship between the two finally had a beginning and an end, and later broke up.
This relationship has made many people still uneasy. Later, Gong Li married someone else, and since then Zhang Yimou has no emotional scandals and has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the production of the film.
Accidental acquaintance, identified for life
When they met Chen Ting, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li had been separated for more than five years. Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou met in 2000, when Chen Ting was just nineteen years old and was a student at the Beijing Film Academy. Like all students who aspire to be famous, she goes to various crews to participate in the mirror, hoping to be discovered by the director to find her own shining points and then become famous in one fell swoop.
At that time, Zhang Yimou was choosing a female lead for his new movie "Happy Time", and who didn't want to participate in the big director's film, maybe he could seize this opportunity to start his own acting path. Every girl in Beiying has a dream of "seeking a girl", and Chen Ting is no exception, going to the scene of the mirror with her classmates.
The Beijing Film Academy can be said to be a place that brings together the best handsome men and women in the national performance, appearance and temperament, so the female students who come to the interview are all dignified in temperament, beautiful in appearance and superb in acting. Chen Ting is not outstanding in it, but she also has an extraordinary temperament when she learns dance since she was a child.
But here the masters are like clouds, Chen Ting was not selected in the end, but her shining point was discovered by Zhang Yimou. Zhang Yimou left Chen Ting's contact information, and after that, he contacted Chen Ting many times to find various reasons to meet Chen Ting. At the beginning, Chen Ting was also very strange, Zhang Yimou such a big bowl of directors will have something she needs to do, and the little assistant around him is not lingering, beckoning.
Gradually, Chen Ting gradually felt Zhang Yimou's special feelings for her, but she was not sure. Chen Ting came from an ordinary family, there is no strong background and strong capital, and she is even more ordinary in this beautiful school, although Zhang Yimou, who is mature and stable and has a successful career, is very attractive to her, but she can't believe that an international director who has seen all kinds of beautiful women will have any special ideas about her.
However, I did not expect Zhang Yimou to express his love to her very bluntly, and Chen Ting's gentle and pure temperament attracted Zhang Yimou. Receiving the confession of the big director, Chen Ting was also flattered, and she was also worried about whether Zhang Yimou was tired of seeing more dazzling roses in the entertainment industry, and fell in love with her ordinary little daisy on a whim.
But Zhang Yimou became more and more attached to her, making her feel sincere. So Chen Ting accepted Zhang Yimou's pursuit. Not long after the two were together, Chen Ting became pregnant. You should know that at this time, Chen Ting is still only a student who has not graduated from film school, and her social experience is very shallow.
She was also overwhelmed by this kind of thing, so she asked Zhang Yimou for help. Zhang Yimou hopes that she will give birth to a child, but giving birth to a child means that Chen Ting will give up her studies, and giving up her studies means giving up her career.
Chen Ting's life has just begun, if she can successfully graduate, maybe she can become a film queen in the future. After a long choice between career and love, Chen Ting finally decided to give birth to a child and give up her studies. In this way, nineteen-year-old Chen Ting dropped out of school and returned home to raise a baby. At the same time, her relationship with Zhang Yimou has also reached the stage of telling both parents.
Be the woman behind the successful man
However, the feelings of the two are not a good match in the eyes of outsiders, and first of all, the age makes Chen Ting's mother difficult to accept. Zhang Yimou was thirty-one years older than Chen Ting, and even nine years older than Chen Ting's mother, and such an exaggerated age difference made Chen Ting's mother strongly oppose it.
And his daughter is just an ordinary person, how can He De be favored by such a well-known director? Anyone will guess that the big director is just playing, and maybe he will abandon his daughter when he gets tired of playing.
No matter how Chen Ting explained, her parents were strongly opposed, and in the end, Chen Ting took Zhang Yimou back to her hometown to meet her parents in person. In front of Chen Ting's parents, Zhang Yimou sincerely guaranteed that Chen Ting was sincere. Under the constant persuasion of the two, Chen Ting's parents also saw Zhang Yimou's sincerity and finally agreed to be together.
However, after Chen Ting's parents solve it, they still have to solve Zhang Yimou's mother. Zhang Yimou's mother is a doctor and an intellectual, and she has always hoped that Zhang Yimou can find an honest girl outside the circle to live.
Zhang Yimou was single for many years after divorce, and there were no grandchildren in the family, and Zhang Yimou's mother was also very anxious. But the son brought with him a young girl thirty-one years younger than himself, and a small actor, and the mother could not help but worry about what the girl coveted.
But when Zhang Yimou brought Chen Ting home, Zhang Yimou's mother also had some refreshing feelings. Chen Ting is slightly different from those actresses in the entertainment industry, although she does not have a gorgeous appearance, but her personality is not ostentatious.
There is a strong heart under the seemingly well-behaved and weak appearance, which may be closely related to Chen Ting's life since childhood. Chen Ting wants to get ahead in an ordinary family, she needs to cultivate a strong and brave character, so this young girl is actually not vulnerable at all, and can be a good little woman behind a successful director.
Moreover, Zhang Yimou's mother also learned that Chen Ting was already pregnant at this time, and finally agreed to the relationship between the two. In this way, the two people were together with the consent of both parents, although they did not receive a license, but they were already each other's confirmation.
After being together, Zhang Yimou was not thin to Chen Ting and bought a big house for Chen Ting in her hometown with her parents. Chen Ting is also very close to Zhang Yimou, knowing that Zhang Yimou is busy with work, never mentioning unreasonable demands, and silently supporting him behind his back.
In 2001, the first son of the two was born, named Zhang Yinan. After the birth of the child, the family is very happy, at this time Zhang Yimou's age is not small, even if he is an old man, he is very fond of this son. Zhang Yimou's mother is also very happy, and the Zhang family finally has a grandson.
However, Zhang Yimou's work has always been very busy, and there are no days at home for a year. And Chen Ting is only twenty years old, she is still a child but has a child. In the face of all kinds of chores at home, Chen Ting just silently put it in her heart, swallowed all the hardships herself, and raised the child silently, not to disturb Zhang Yimou's work.
Not long after, in 2004, the second son of the two was born, named Zhang Yiding; in 2006, the third child of the two was a daughter named Zhang Yijiao.
In this way, Chen Ting silently lived with three children alone, and Zhang Yimou made money for the children on the front line. Zhang Yimou's career has always been thriving, and his films have always stood out among many films, becoming box office champions and winning various awards.
However, at this time, Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou, who have given birth to three children, still have not yet received a marriage license, and Chen Ting's family is very anxious, but Chen Ting does not care at all, just raises children with peace of mind and silently supports her husband's career. After all, Zhang Yimou is a special public figure.
His every move will have a huge impact. Therefore, Chen Ting gave all her trust to this man and did his best helper behind him. All along, Chen Ting has endured the hardships of loneliness and child-rearing, and slowly she has changed from a little girl who does not understand anything to an experienced mother of three children.
Some people say that Chen Ting is a love brain, don't look back and be sold to help people with money, but they don't know that Chen Ting knows very well in her heart that she has her own ideas. Finally Chen Ting waited for this day, after Zhang Yimou's remarriage and the fact that he had three children was exposed, he did not hide in the slightest, did not live up to the trust that Chen Ting gave him.
Previously, in 2011, Chen Ting finally waited for the moment when she married into the Chen family in her name. The two received a marriage license and became a legal couple. Over the years, Chen Ting's actions have made Zhang Yimou's family see in their eyes.
Even if she and Zhang Yimou have been nameless and unworthy for so many years, Chen Ting has also been at ease with the encounter, never chasing fame and profit, and silently taking care of the children at home. This sensible, down-to-earth and dedicated girl finally has a good home.
In the eyes of most people, marrying Zhang Yimou can be said to be worry-free in the second half of her life, and it is better to enjoy an early "retirement life" at home, but Chen Ting has not stopped the pace of her own learning and progress. She first completed her previously unfinished studies, and later she enriched herself and enriched herself in her free time, and also took the yoga qualification certificate.
A family of five is happy
Today, Chen Ting has entered the age of forty, although she is no longer as young as before, but she is very temperamental, still elegant and beautiful, not worse than those stars. Zhang Yimou is also over seventy years old, but under the nourishment of the family, his state is still very spiritual, still as young as fifty years old. Under chen Ting's careful education, the three children have also achieved something.
The eldest son, Zhang Yinan, was deeply influenced by his father and took the same route as Zhang Yimou and entered the ranks of directors. At a young age, his works have won many awards at major film festivals, and even Zhang Yimou himself sighed that "one generation is stronger than the next.". He achieved what he achieved at the age of forty, and his son was less than twenty years old. This also shows that Chen Ting's education is good.
The second son, Zhang Yiding, went abroad to study alone when he was only 16 years old, and was an independent and capable child. The youngest daughter, Zhang Yijiao, did not lose two older brothers, and began to learn various talents from a young age, not to mention her ballet skills. In her spare time, Chen Ting will also practice with her daughter and want to cultivate her young daughter into a new star in the dance world.
Zhang Yimou's identity profession is very much in need of a virtuous help, he works hard outside, and the family needs a person to take care of, so a woman like Chen Ting is the wife that Zhang Yimou needs. Chen Ting knows her responsibility as Zhang Yimou's wife, so she has always done her mother and wife's duties, and she has really lived the life she wants as she wishes, and she is a proper winner in life.
Nowadays, Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting's family of five are happy, warm and envious, and all of this is bound to be inseparable from the credit of Chen Ting, a woman who has been silently paying and supporting Zhang Yimou's career these days. We wish their families happiness and happiness.
After reading Chen Ting's story, I had to sigh at the strength of this woman. Chen Ting may have lost her career because of a marriage choice, but her family and children are her prouder existence. It is often said that behind every successful man there is a daughter who pays silently, and Chen Ting is the strong woman behind Zhang Yimou.
Even if her life was later exposed before everyone, she did not become complacent because of this dazzling aura, but constantly improved her ability and made herself stronger. Chen Ting's selfless dedication to the family and not seeking returns are particularly worthy of our study and admirable.
